After watching the panda, follow the convenient road to the monkey world.
The snow monkey Pavilion is an old and uninhabited Buddhist temple.
Now the scenery in the venue is very different from that in the past. The ground is covered with snow and silver frost, which has become a white and quiet world.
Cold mountain road and cold stream bank. There are birds chirping, and there is no one.
The black tiles of the temple are covered with a layer of white snowflakes. Under the sunlight, a glass color flashes, adding a sense of holiness and auspiciousness to the silent Buddhist temple.
Tourists who come here can't help being affected by the atmosphere here and are much quieter.
Every time yugongxin comes over, he likes to see snow monkeys as well as pandas.
It's natural to feel kind when you can see the animals in your hometown in a foreign country.
In addition to snow monkeys from their hometown, the environmental layout here is also very interesting.
Mottled walls, ape lamp posts with different postures, and macaques playing in the temple make people imaginative and automatically make up many stories.
Yugongxin and Xingzi came to the front door of the Buddhist temple and enjoyed the scenery through the glass curtain wall.
The snowy temple looks much more beautiful than usual!
The white and beautiful snowflakes make the solemn atmosphere here soft and romantic.
The brick and stone path leading to the temple behind is now covered by snowflakes. Shrubs and weeds are crystal clear, like bundles of white flowers. The bamboo leaves of arrow bamboo also have a fresh green, which adds an interest to the ice and snow world.
In the past, the green water in the pond was replaced by a steaming hot spring!
The white fog formed by the cold hot air of the hot spring obscured the surrounding environment. You can see more than a dozen red cheeks, flax gray brown snow monkeys scattered in the hot spring.
Some snow monkeys are in the middle of the hot spring pool, leaning against each other. While soaking in the hot spring, they are still stroking their companions, and their claws move quickly.
Some snow monkeys stay side by side at the edge of the hot spring, holding their claws on the stone.
A gust of wind blew away the hazy white fog and saw it more clearly.
Yugongxin saw a snow monkey at the edge of the hot spring, holding a cub in his arms.
With your fingers on the water surface of the hot spring, bounce it one by one to get out small bubbles.
Blisters appear and pop them with your fingers. It looks like you're enjoying it!
A snow monkey narrowed its eyes and opened its mouth. It seemed to moan comfortably, with a very humanized expression of laziness and enjoyment.
There is also a strong snow monkey with some white snowflakes on his head. He holds his claws and puts them on the stone, and his chin is also close to the stone.
With a gray beard on his mouth and bright eyes, he looked out through the hazy fog,
He tilted his head, raised one eyebrow slightly, and then relaxed his expression.
Looking at its posture of soaking in the hot spring, it feels like a chubby uncle bathing in the bath.
Tourists looked at this scene, many faces showed an expression of envy!
"The monkey is better than me! He can also take a hot spring and enjoy it!"
"It's cool to soak in the hot spring on a snowy day, ice and fire!"
"This little day is so comfortable. I envy you! I want to sign up to be a monkey. I can soak in the hot spring and eat fruit for free every day."
"There's a hot spring hotel nearby. Why don't we go for a dip in the afternoon? It's my treat?"
"Wow, thank you, boss!"
Apricot squeezed her eyebrows towards Yugong's heart and whispered, "why don't we go to a hot spring? It's said that hot spring can improve beauty! It must be very comfortable to take a hot spring in such a weather."
Rain palace heart suddenly some heart!
But think about the balance you have just settled, your shriveled wallet, your recent expenses must be saved, and the small fire that has just risen suddenly goes out.
"I have no money. I bought a lot of things on double eleven ~ next month!"
Fortunately, Linhai zoo, if you just visit the zoo, the consumption is not high!
She also took the certificate of foreign students and applied for a year card.
There was a sighing look from a tourist: "Indian monkeys climb electric poles, Chinese monkeys are called kings in the mountains, and Japanese monkeys soak in hot springs. They are the same monkeys. These Japanese snow monkeys look so clever, and the dead monkeys in Emei are so arrogant that they turn their bags and rob things."
The keeper of the snow monkey house also came over at this time.
Hearing the comments of tourists, he smiled and said, "snow monkeys are also very lively when they don't soak in hot springs! Lively and naughty is the nature of monkeys. Those monkeys in Emei Mountain are fed by tourists, not the natural behavior of monkeys."
The tourist scratched his head: "is that so?"
"Yes, so why not feed? Not only does feeding not conform to the feeding habits of animals, it may bring them diseases, serious or even death, but also some behavioral changes!"
The keeper then introduced: "Japanese macaque, also known as snow monkey, is a kind of macaque living in northern Japan.
Japanese macaques are active during the day and spend most of their time in the forest, feeding seeds, flower buds, fruits, bird eggs and leaves. They can survive in the harsh environment of minus 15 ° C, which is very rare in primates.
In order to survive in such a cold and harsh environment, Japanese macaques have evolved the habit of collective bathing in hot springs.
By the way, Yunnan golden monkeys also have the nickname of snow monkeys, which may be because they inhabit in the alpine coniferous forest with an altitude of more than 3000 meters. Their thick fur can deal with the negative environment of ice and snow, or their young are light white. "
"Oh ~"
"I like Yunnan snub nosed monkeys, too! But there are only Sichuan snub nosed monkeys in the zoo."
The breeder said, "snow is a specialty in winter. In snowy weather, animals will show unique behavior.
There is a common saying, "when it snows and rains, the dog is happy, and the sparrow has a bag of gas in his stomach." it is about his attitude towards snow.
On snowy days, the traces of animals walking are more obvious, which provides a lot of convenience for tracking prey. Dogs' ancestors are wolves, so they like snow. For birds such as sparrows, the ground is covered with snow, it is difficult to find food, and if they can't find food, they will freeze to death. That's why they don't like snow and have a bag of air in their stomach.
You can pay attention to the performance of snow monkeys, which is different from that of ordinary people! Such scenes are limited by the season. "
After listening to the breeder's explanation, the tourists looked more carefully.
Someone pointed to a strong monkey on the edge of the hot spring and asked curiously, "is that just the monkey king?"
The keeper looked at it carefully and said with a smile, "no, it's just the monkey king's deputy. We named it uncle Bai! Does it look like a middle-aged uncle?"
"Indeed!"
"Which is the monkey king?"
